Owston's civet  (Chrotogale owstoni)

Known from northern and central Vietnam, northern Laos, and southern China's southern Yunnan and southwest Guangxi provinces (2) (5).

Owston's civet prefers densely vegetated habitats near lowland water sources, in both primary and secondary broadleafed, evergreen forest (5) (6). Although this species is thought to be largely terrestrial (5), they are also known to search for food, rest and even sleep in trees (7).
